Lake Victoria Serena

Beach resort | Lake Victoria & Islands

On the banks of mighty Lake Victoria

On the glistening shores of the world’s second-largest lake, Lake Victoria Serena Resort invites guests to sample Mediterranean flavour on African soil. Resembling a hillside village in Italy, the hotel boasts a golf course, marina and an endless array of activities centred around Lake Victoria – not to mention the fact that the resort is in a truly terrific location within short driving distance between Uganda’s capital, Kampala, and the popular town of Entebbe.

Thanks to its verdant, mountainous terrain and extensive water sources, Uganda is a haven for wildlife. Attracting an impressive number of primates and over 1,000 bird species, photographers, twitchers and nature lovers will find themselves in their element. Enjoy fishing expeditions on Lake Victoria or a languid sundowner cruise across its calm surface.

Whether you are staying in Lake Victoria Serena’s Standard Rooms, Executive Suites, or Presidential Suites, all boast en-suite bathrooms, a minibar, tea/coffee-making facilities, 24-hour room service, a porter, on-call doctor, and airport shuttle, taxi and limousine service. Play nine holes on the hotel’s golf course, indulge in a massage at the Maisha Mind, Body, and Spirit Spa, or sip on a cocktail at the Lake View Pool Terrace Bar and Café.
